"I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind amazing things will happen." - Conan O'Brien

No idea, and an internet search isn't turning up anything. I don't like Star Trek, nor have I seen Wizard of Oz in the last 30 years (at least with the sound on), but I feel like I must get this joke for some reason.

Hey, at least you're better off than me. I hate sports (and have absolutely no knowledge of American sports), I know next to nothing about the Wizard of Oz, I haven't watched Star Trek (beyond the two JJ Abrams movies), and I'm not American. That joke requires at least some knowledge of or interest in all of those things. It's the kind of joke that would probably be really funny to the right kind of crew, but when tossed in at a somewhat generic forum, it's bound to fall flat for a bunch of people.
